It's a great job, thanks!  But could you avoid send a so big file in a
mailing-list?  Simply send a mail notification that you have made
changes and that new version could be downloaded from your homepage.

You clame table is based on Kaffe pre-release 1.0b4 it's quite old,
current release is 1.0.5.  Could you check your table with current CVS
Tree ?

Please that move_float_const() and move_double_const() should check for
+0.0 and -0.0, it's a fix for bug PR#122.  In C, +0.0 == -0.0 so you
need check 0.0 and then bit sign (1 << 63).

Again, thanks for your document.
